she has posted sketches & samples/examples for the class plus some bonus ideas for all the 15 days/layouts & she posted some really, really great ideas for getting organized & making a plan to get everything done in a months time! Its really a fabulous class! She really put a lot of time into it & you can really tell because it is all put together really well! so well organized!
Bree asked me to do 1 of her samples -- sketch #8, which i have posted below
Bree did this sketch, which i love!!! she put some wonderful sketches together for the class (along with some other very talented ladies!!)
so, here is the sketch i used, along with my LO & some close-ups :)
the sketch is originally a 6x12, but i changied it up a bit & did a full size 12x12 :)

quick update

havent been around much this week
went to the Dr last week & we are trying some new meds -- not totally new, i actually did try them b4 (last year) but after 2 days i quit cuz i had some weird reaction to them
anywho, givin' em another go
so far so good -- well, i did sleep for like the first 2 days!!! LOL!!! craziness!!! & i did have a migraine trigger the next day (but that was prolly not the meds since i have been getting 3+ migraines a week lately)
BUT!! today was a good day! finally! i did have a headache this afternoon but it wasnt as bad as the ones i have been getting, & it wasnt a migraine! so, i am praying that is a good sign!
i go up in "dose" on friday
so, hopefully i wont sleep all weekend again! & hopefully things will start looking up!

James has ALREADY started training for football for next year!!! Wow!!! they are doing weight lifting!! 4 days a week! they are taking a few weeks off when school lets out, then back to it! we are gonna have a busy summer i think! :)
i will try to catch up more 2moro!
take care!

Logan's bday -- very photo heavy!!!

ok so here are some pics from Logans 3rd bday :)
I did edit a few of them, but no where near all of these LOL! there are just to many! so you will be able to tell that some have the color & whatnot edited & the cropping done & some dont -- sorry but i am just to tired to mess with all of them that much tonight! :)




Here he is opening his new Thomas the train little track set --
he LOVES this thing!!! he runs those trains
ALL day long {sigh} LOL!
& here he is giving me a "Choo-Choo" :)
super cute!!

Here is his huge, awesome bag of greatness that he got from Grandma!!
Wow! so much stuff he loved in this bag!
including the bag itself! LOL!


I got this great photo of Logan on the stairs with ALL
his prezzies! i love it! its a great way to document
all the great stuff he got
Kenzie did pretty well with all the bday presents and all
she let Logan open everything &
do his thing without really getting
upset & she didnt try to open
any of his presents!!! i thot that was
really good!!! She is enjoying all his
new toys now as well! :)


on to cake time :)
Logan ended up with an ice cream cake --
i had planned to have him help me bake his cake the day of his bday, after his nap
(his latest thing is that he loves to kelp us do stuff in the kitchen)
but we had a power outage!!! :( Yuck! It was almost 100 degrees that day!
anyway, that was how he ended up with the ice cream cake,
instead of home made like i always do :) but he totally
loved it! he was happy, so i was happy

Kenzie loved Logans cake too :)
& of course the first thing Trent did after cake was
put together Logan's new 'big wheels'
Trent was so excited that we were
able to find one like he had when
he was a little kid! :)
boys & their toys!
LOL!
ok, thats all for now
I am heading off to bed --
finally! Yikes! Its 2AM!
i am gonna be tired 2moro :)
Thanks for stopping by :)
hope you enjoyed all
the pics of my
pumpkin head :)
gotta love him! he is so cute!!
his personality totally shows in that last
photo! so adorable!
ok, i AM going to bed now!!!
take care!

He had a fabulous day tho! lots of prezzies! An Oreo ice cream cake (we had a power black out so i didnt get his cake made!!! it was almost 100 degrees here yesterday & we were without power for almost 2 hours! it was awful!!! but he LOVED his cake! so I am glad that it worked out! & thanks Mom for picking it up for me!) I will get some pics of his bday posted later this evening or 2moro! I know i always say that & dont get it done but I REALLY WILL!!!
This is the other awesomely exciting news that i have to share!!! For my bday, my awesomely great & fabulouso Mom bought me an amazing camera!! that i have been wanting for years! i have been wanting to upgrade to a REAL camera, a nicer camera for so long now! & i had kinda given up on it for now cuz we just cant afford it with the house payment & Trents new car payment & all that carp :( but she totally made my entire YEAR!!! I bet my face was hysterical when i opened it! I never would have even imagined getting that! Its a Cannon Rebel XS Its awesome!! So i am gonna post some pics FOR SURE!!! I have totally fallen back in love with photography! seriously! it is amazing! I am gonna start my 365 blog back up & going too! cuz i am taking pics all the time!
